I don't know about anyone else, but I am feeling torn in multiple directions at the moment. I want to try to ride the wave in all locations and see where everyone lands, but that also makes me feel disingenuous everywhere... Anyway, one thing I noticed is that I wasn't coming here or commenting here much at all yesterday while I was exploring our new options. That left me feeling sad.
So, long story short, I'm back and will try to be status quo here for now and only visit other places as a supplement! I think...
What does everyone feel good about today? I think we all need some things to feel good about! Please share something positive with us even if you are just lurking!

Re: Feel Good Friday
@RobertJane33 - That is such great news! Wonderful gains for your little bundles!
Today, I feel good that I am back in real clothes and back at work. Still feeling tired and run down, but at least functional enough to get ready and get out of the house. I may not make it through the whole day, but if I can make it to early afternoon, I will take that as a win.
I also feel good about my decision to not weigh myself this morning. I started my period last night (joy!), and I have just felt gross from this flu/bug I have had... so I cut myself some needed slack. I will weigh in next week and see where I am...

I feel good that I am almost 35w pregnant and for the most part this has been an uneventful pregnancy. I also feel good that I only have to get one more shot in the a** (plus it is in my right side which is my preferred check). I feel good that I have such amazing friends that came to the shower and were all so generous and I feel as ready as I can for her to arrive (minus having a name picked out). I feel good that much of the community is staying put or at least going to continue to post in both locations. This community has been so supportive to me over the past almost 2 years. They have been here to celebrate the highs and help me through the lows and I would be sad if that went away.

We feel good that we just got done reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility, and feel a whole lot better about when the best time to inseminate. Also feel good we just put in to have our last 3 vials taken out of storage next week. Only bummer is, high/peak days are during the work week, we can only do evening "bding" but we'll make the most out of it, at least be able to go to sleep afterword
We also feel good that this afternoon we are mailing off our appeal to Kaiser for the IVF coverage, I hope it doesn't take them 2 months to review it! But we are ready to fight back!
Just can't let that tww get to us, need to find things to do, but hard during the winter time, also we would love to have a positive for valentine's day
#8 Taking a break..... Maybe IVF if we win the lotto.
I feel good that we had two blasts to transfer yesterday. I hover between optimism and pessimism for this cycle, though I think I remain mostly realistic. I am thankful that we at least had two to transfer. We could have had nothing.
I feel good that C and I are on the same page with how things will go if this cycle is a BFN.

We too are having some sleep success! Three great nights in a row! I'll chrono more about this next week, but I'm feeling thay we may be turning a corner, rather than just getting lucky.
My parents are here for a brief visit, which allowed Z and I to get out for a nice dinner sans toddler last night. Win-win!
Happy Saturday!
